GM and Nissan may have been the first out of the gate with their electric vehicles, the Chevy Volt and Nissan Leaf, but other automakers are planning to launch their own electric vehicles in the near future.

Honda recently announced that it will debut an electric vehicle concept car at the upcoming Los Angeles Auto Show, taking place from November 19th to November 28th. The company has publicly stated that it believes electric vehicles are a stopover technology on the way toward hydrogen-powered vehicles, but has also said it plans to put out an EV by 2012. Whether this concept will eventually become that model or if this is a separate project entirely is unknown.

The Japanese automaker will also be bringing a new gas-electric powertrain for hybrid vehicles. The system is expected to be used for larger hybrids, but Honda spokespeople were tight-lipped on details.

LA Auto Show organizers told AutoWeek that the show is currently slated to have close to 20 global first-time reveals. It will be the first time that Honda will debut a car at the show.

Drivers interested in a green vehicle may want to search the used car market for a hybrid, as they'll be able to save on the lot as well as at the pump.
